Написал письмо Столлману, чтобы он прокомментировал ситуацию:
Hello, dear Richard Mattew Stallman!
We are very concerned about your resignation of CSAIL/MIT/FSF because this incident poses a threat to the free software and GNU operating system.
We want to talk on a very important topic. The phrase "or any later version" in the GPL license is a loophole that allows you to do anything with the license.
If tomorrow some activist writes that “demanding disclosure of code and freedom of distribution is fascism”,
then the FSF will again bend under a volatile world and write GPLv4 which says “it would be nice if you opened the source code, but if no, oh that's bad, but so be it?"
While you were president of the FSF, a hypothetical sabotage GPLv4 could not exist. And now we are not at all sure about it.
Please write your opinion on this issue.

Please write to directors@fsf.org about your concerns with the FSF.
As for CSAIL and MIT, they have nothing to do with the GNU GPL.
You may as well not worry about them.

Странно то, что он никак не прокомментировал «уход из FSF». Возможно, что в ближайшее время мы узнаем что-то очень интересное.
